If an employee believes his position has been improperly allocated or reallocated to a class, he may appeal to a Review Panel consisting of the Finance Director, City Manager and Law Director, or their designees. Department heads shall also have the right to appeal any changes made to the Compensation Plan which affect their department. The procedure for such appeals shall be as follows:
(a) A written appeal shall be prepared in duplicate on forms provided by the City Manager;
(b) The appeal shall set forth the reasons therefor;
(c) The appellant shall file the original of the appeal with the City Manager and the copy with the Law Director;
(d) The Review Panel shall consider all such appeals and shall provide reasonable opportunity for each appellant to be heard;
(e) The Review Panel shall notify, in writing, the appellant of its decision. Any decision of the Review Panel, under this provision, which allocates a position of an employee to a different class in the Employee Classification Plan shall be retroactive to the date the appeal was filed.
